Quilting is becoming an increasingly important and integral part of my life. My creative outlet changes how I view the world around me, influences the activities I pursue with my family, and introduces me to new people whose life paths wouldn't ordinarily intersect mine. My life is much like my favorite types of quilts - scrappy and unconventional, full of interest and surprises, and with an underlying current of making do (and making something beautiful!) with what I have.

The blocks are coming!

Man, you guys are FAST!! Many blocks are already in the mail, on their way to me. Thanks so much! This project is getting much bigger than I initially considered, and I am THRILLED!!! Keep them coming! There are more people suffering from Hurricane Sandy than we can help, but I'm game to help as many as we can!

Just a note, if you are a no-reply commenter, I can't send you my mailing address. If you haven't heard from me, that is why - I have already emailed everyone that I could get in touch with, and have tracked some people down through blogs. If you are or if you know any of the following commenters, would you please let them know I can't reach them? I can be emailed at ehutchinson@wlu.edu, and I'll get my mailing address out to you all.

What an incredible response Erin, that's awesome!! I made my first one last night, and am hoping to make 3 more tonight (2 of each, looks like you want to use them in pairs?). We've got a swim meet all weekend, but maybe next weekend I can come over and help? Just let me know.xo,~MichellePS I finally found all my passwords & got my old blog back up, put out a call for blocks for you just now:-)

This is so cool. You already sent me your address. I've shared your link with a few friends and will post on my blog as soon as I can. As soon as I get back in town I'll get some blocks made and send your way.
